Slow and steady. Sticking at 2.5mg!

My appetite is always back by day 6 but I’m grateful to have a day or two consuming more like maintenance level food otherwise I think I’d be too low energy. Hoping to hit 14xlbs in the next week or two! An unbelievable number for me.

Thanks for the new thread.

Has anyone found chocolate tastes completely different ?! I normally love dairy milk - had 1 chunk earlier - tasted very odd.

Wow thread 4 already! Us January lot are a chatty bunch 😁

I started 18/01.

SW: 15.10
CW: 13:13

TW: 10.5

i took my last 2.5 jab today and my 5mg also got delivered today.
I have so much more energy and feel so much lighter already. I’ve gone down two jeans sizes also!

Yes! I’m a total chocoholic and eat it every day usually but I’ve gone off it completely on MJ. I had a Cadbury mini roll over 2 weeks ago, it tasted weird and I felt so nauseous afterwards, I haven’t touched chocolate at all since then. In fact, I’m not eating anything sweet at all, I just don’t fancy it. This is unheard of for me!

@MummyInTheNecropolis I could easily eat one of those 110g bars previously- imagine how skinny we’ll be 😂

I'm here ☺️

Just one bar? Amateur! 🤣

Ha ha you're like me. Maybe a Christmas jumbo bar....🤣

Holy shit, good going!!!!

I feel the need to defend my former chocolate self. I raise you a box of lindt balls.

I don’t like milky chocolate, but I can confirm that I’m still able to do a line of M&S dark milk chocolate (54% is gorgeous) with blood orange a day. Apart from on Monday when I felt like ☠️.

We love eating out in our house.. we are child free this evening and discussed eating out and neither of us fancied it (both on mj)! This is a new experience for us both!!

I have been exercising more, and drinking more water. I’m sure a lot of it is water weight.

Wow @LuckyCharm9 that's amazing, well done!

Thank you!

@minipoodlemum
My only regret is that I didn't do this a year ago.

Totally with you on this one!

I'm back here, not sure I even managed to post on the last thread!

I'm W5D6, 17 lbs down. Feeling good and I stuck to the 2.5mg pen for my second one as I was losing well and good suppression with no side effects. Hoping it's the same this week.

How much exercise is everyone doing? I've been once per week so far but increased that to two this week - both weight bearing.

Welcome to the January Losers Club @usethedata ! Great loss so far, well done!

Marking my place 👋

So this next week will be interesting. Husbands 50th birthday celebrations tomorrow and Monday, my own birthday Thursday and Valentine's Day Friday 🤦🏼‍♀️.

I know I won't over indulge as it just isn't possible atm but there's also going to be richer food than I've been used to over the next week. Fingers crossed my stomach doesn't punish me! How has everyone else managed having slightly more indulgent food?

That being said, on week 4 of 2.5mg and definitely feeling hungrier than those first few weeks. 5mg pen ordered to start Friday, unsure if I'll continue with 2.5mg, do 3.75mg or go for it with 5mg.

@millenialmolly Sounds like a full on week ahead of you, have fun!
My lunch today was very rich but I seem to be ok stomach wise. I did eat a lot less than I normally would there, made sure to drink lots of water with my food and then had a peppermint tea at the end; don't know if that's helped or not. 🤷‍♀️

So I had a few drinks today and the results are surprising.

Ate a (new normal size) lunch and five vodka and cokes. Didn’t feel super drunk or anything, just merry.

Got home and have been incredibly hungry. I had forgotten what it feels like to have those post alcohol munchies. I have tried to limit it but it’s taken a lot of effort not to go wild.

To top it off, I now feel really down and depressed. Obviously alcohol is a depressant but it wouldn’t usually affect me like this.

I definitely won’t be trying that again 😢

@Zempy I've been on the wagon since I started in early Jan and had a few drinks this weekend as we were away. I got so drunk! Interestingly, I had the hunger afterwards too and I really got my sweet tooth back. Gutted! My next jab is tomorrow night so I'm hoping it restores some order!!

Sorry your body reacted the same @Focussingonme . I am so shocked at experiencing those mad hungry feelings again. I have only been on MJ since Jan 8 but had already forgotten what it is like.

Bloody fool!

Urgh I had pizza for tea and feel dreadful now, really sluggish and bloated. My heads not caught up with my body’s needs yet. I am also of the don’t waste food generation so need to put less on my plate to start with.

however - I have 2 bags of mini eggs that DH has bought me that I’ve not even touched. And that is unheard of!!!!

new day tomorrow with more fruit and veg as the fridge is now restocked properly
